Sample Answer for LAB ASSIGNMENT: ASSESSING THE ABDOMEN NURS 6512 Included After Question<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\nA male went to the emergency room for severe midepigastric abdominal pain. He was diagnosed with AAA ; however, as a precaution, the doctor ordered a CTA scan.<\/p>\n
Because of a high potential for misdiagnosis, determining the precise cause of abdominal pain can be time consuming and challenging. By analyzing case studies of abnormal abdominal findings, nurses can prepare themselves to better diagnose conditions in the abdomen.<\/p>\n
In this Lab Assignment, you will analyze an Episodic note case study that describes abnormal findings in patients seen in a clinical setting. You will consider what history should be collected from the patients as well as which physical exams and diagnostic tests should be conducted. You will also formulate a differential diagnosis with several possible conditions.<\/p>\n
To Prepare<\/strong><\/h2>\nReview the Episodic note case study your instructor provides you for this week\u2019s Assignment. Please see the \u201cCourse Announcements\u201d section of the classroom for your Episodic note case study.<\/p>\n
\n- With regard to the Episodic note case study provided:\n
\n- Review this week\u2019s Learning Resources, and consider the insights they provide about the case study.<\/li>\n
- Consider what history would be necessary to collect from the patient in the case study.<\/li>\n
- Consider what physical exams and diagnostic tests would be appropriate to gather more information about the patient\u2019s condition. How would the results be used to make a diagnosis?<\/li>\n
- Identify\u00a0at least five<\/strong>\u00a0possible conditions that may be considered in a differential diagnosis for the patient.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

- Analyze the objective portion of the note. List additional information that should be included in the documentation.<\/li>\n
- Is the assessment supported by the subjective and objective information? Why or why not?<\/li>\n
- What diagnostic tests would be appropriate for this case, and how would the results be used to make a diagnosis?<\/li>\n
- Would you reject\/accept the current diagnosis? Why or why not? Identify three possible conditions that may be considered as a differential diagnosis for this patient. Explain your reasoning using at least three different references from current evidence-based literature.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
